AOP using AspectJ not working in spring?

Question

My Aspect class will be ,

@Configuration
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@Component
@Aspect
public class AspectClass {

    @Before("execution(* com.pointel.aop.test1.AopTest.beforeAspect())")
    public void logBefore(JoinPoint joinPoint) {

        System.out.println("Before running the beforeAspect() in the AopTest.java class!");
        System.out.println("Hijacked Method name : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
        System.out.println("************************");
    }

}

My other java Class

public class AopTest {

    public void beforeAspect() {
        System.out.println("This is beforeAspect() !");
    }
}

My Main Class is

public class MainMethod {

    public static void main(String[] args) {    
        ApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("ApplicationContext/applicationContext.xml");
        AopTest test = (AopTest)context.getBean("bean1");
        test.beforeAspect();
    }
}

My applicationContext.xml is ,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd ">

    <bean id="bean1" class="com.pointel.aop.test1.AopTest" />

</beans>

In this the @Before("execution(* com.pointel.aop.test1.AopTest.beforeAspect())") in the AspectClass will not be executed before the beforeAspect() in the AopTest , when running Main method.

Good answers are definitely appreciated.

Solution 1

First of all if you're going to use an annotation based configuration, use AnnotationConfigApplicationContext instead of FileSystemXmlApplicationContext. And get rid of the applicationContext.xml file and simply add a @Bean method in your configuration class. Something like this:

@Configuration
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "your.aspect.package")
public class AspectConfig {
    @Bean 
    public AopTest aopTest() {
        return new AopTest();
    }
}

In your main

public class MainMethod {

    public static void main(String[] args) {    
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContextcontext = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AspectConfig.class);
        // don't forget to refresh
        context.refresh();
        AopTest test = (AopTest)context.getBean("aopTest");
        test.beforeAspect();
    }
}

In AspectClass you should have @Component, @Aspect, and your method should have the advice or pointcut annotation like @Before. It needs to be a @Component, so that Spring knows to scan it.

Solution 2

Here some code need to add in xml to use annotations- 1.for @component annotation.

xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd" 

2.after that use component scan to get all annotated bean class which use @component annotation,and use aop autoproxy-

<context:annotation-config/>
<context:component-scan base-package="mypackage"></context:component-scan>
 <aop:aspectj-autoproxy>
</aop:aspectj-autoproxy>
